What is it?

Lawnchair is a home app for Android built on Launcher3, the default home app in the Android Open Source Project. It brings Pixel Launcher features to other devices and adds customization options for icons, fonts, and colors.

The launcher supports Material 3 Expressive theming that follows the wallpaper and system colors, along with At a Glance widget integration through Smartspacer. On Android 15 and 16, QuickSwitch adds Android Recents integration, which requires root access. The home screen also offers global search across apps, contacts, and web results.

This branch targets Lawnchair 16 and is based on Launcher3 from Android 16. Branches named 9- through 15- hold earlier versions. Builds are distributed through Google Play, IzzyOnDroid, Obtainium, and GitHub releases, and the Play Store version is restricted to comply with Google Play's publishing rules.
